UKGC Announces April Deadlines for Key Gambling Review Evaluations iGame

UKGC Announces April Deadlines for Key Gambling Review Evaluations

(AsiaGameHub) - The UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) has informed gambling licensees and other interested parties about two approaching deadlines concerning its assessment of regulations. The initial deadline is for the conclusion of the Commission's consultation regarding revisions to the Destination of Regulatory Settlements, set for April 2nd. This consultation is part of the regulator's adaptations subsequent to the implementation of the statutory levy, which is scheduled for April 2025 as a key provision of the Gambling Review's White Paper, High Stakes: Gambling Reform for the Digital Age. A re-evaluation of existing procedures was deemed essential because financial penalties levied by the UKGC are deposited into the UK's Consolidated Fund. Nevertheless, regulatory settlements and payments made instead of formal penalties have traditionally taken a different route, frequently supporting research, prevention, and treatment (RPT) programs independent of central government bodies. This approach has now become outdated due to the cessation of GambleAware's operations and the shift to a statutory levy framework. The levy consolidates RPT funding under designated public entities, bringing in more rigorous supervision, alignment, and assessment of fund distribution. Consequently, the UKGC has put forward a proposal to amend its Statement of Principles for Determining Financial Penalties, aiming to ensure that regulatory settlements correspond with financial penalties. The Commission suggests that all subsequent regulatory settlements should be paid directly into the Consolidated Fund, thereby guaranteeing uniformity, promptness, and governmental scrutiny of funds from enforcement actions. This initiative seeks to prevent the emergence of separate funding mechanisms alongside the statutory levy. In addition to this consultation, the UKGC has also noted advancements in the assessment of the Gambling Act Review (GAR). This evaluation is being carried out by the National Centre for Social Research (NatCen), which reports to the DCMS. Operators have been asked to take part in an online survey and subsequent interviews to offer their insights on how GAR reforms are being applied in practice. Important aspects under consideration include checks for financial vulnerability, limits on stakes for online slots, and incentives promoting social responsibility. The survey concludes on April 10th, and the Commission is urging widespread involvement to assist in shaping future regulatory improvements. Collectively, these two deadlines signify a crucial milestone for UK gambling policy. The consultation on regulatory settlements indicates the concluding stages of harmonizing enforcement procedures with the statutory levy, whereas the GAR evaluation aims to gauge the practical effects of one of the most extensive reform initiatives in the industry's recent past. For the industry, April represents more than just a procedural landmark; it signifies a shift from putting measures into effect to examining them, as regulators and the government start to evaluate the practical effectiveness of the UK's updated gambling framework.

Examining the key players as Alberta confirms its iGaming launch date iGame

Examining the key players as Alberta confirms its iGaming launch date

(AsiaGameHub) - Potential operators have been alerted following Alberta's confirmation that its regulated online gambling sector is set to commence operations on July 13. Becoming Canada's second regulated jurisdiction alongside Ontario, the province has seen several major industry players confirm plans to enter a market projected to generate more than $700m annually. PointsBet and Caesars Entertainment have already initiated pre-registration processes for residents of Alberta prior to the official launch. Simultaneously, operators including BetMGM, DraftKings, FanDuel, and Betway have announced their entry into the market to expand their existing footprint in Canada. For Betway and its parent firm, Super Group, the primary task involves shifting players from their unregulated offerings to the new regulated platform. Before this regulatory framework, Play Alberta was the sole entity legally permitted to provide iGaming products. Nevertheless, it is believed that 70% of Alberta's gamblers participated in the unregulated market. In a February address to investors, Neal Menashe, CEO of Super Group, remarked: “It is known that Alberta is moving toward regulation. We are prepared, having drawn lessons from Ontario regarding the migration of customers from our dot.com operations. “We have improved our offerings for the rest of Canada as well as Ontario. These enhancements will be integrated into our Alberta product. Once the regulations are finalized and we are set to launch, we will proceed in Alberta.” Menashe also anticipated a more cautious strategy from Super Group’s rivals than was seen during Ontario's market opening, which was characterized by significant early marketing spend. Separately, DraftKings has designated funds for its Alberta expansion. Meanwhile, Flutter, the parent company of FanDuel, has factored the Alberta launch into its 2026 guidance for US operations, forecasting a 12% year-over-year revenue increase to $7.8bn. “We are entering 2026 from a position of strength, ready to leverage the sustained robust growth anticipated in the iGaming sector,” Flutter informed its investors. Significantly absent from the roster of confirmed entrants is bet365, which has yet to indicate its plans for the region. However, considering its existing operations in Ontario and its focus on North American expansion, Alberta likely represents a promising prospect for the UK-based operator. The operational framework of Alberta's market will be recognizable to many established operators due to its close resemblance to Ontario's model. A 20% tax on gross gaming revenue will be applied to operators, mirroring Ontario's rate, with the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (AGLC) serving as the regulatory body. This contrasts with the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario, which regulates that province. Additionally, the Alberta iGaming Corporation (AiGC) will function as a distinct conduct and management agency, fulfilling a role similar to that of iGaming Ontario. Central regulations for the new market prioritize social responsibility and player safety, implementing stringent rules regarding permissible advertising scope. Upon launch, Alberta players will gain access to a provincial self-exclusion registry as well as tools for setting financial and time limits. “In this new regulated environment, the protection of players and social responsibility are central to our operations,” stated a letter reviewed by iGaming Expert and authored by Dale Nally, the Minister of Service Alberta and Red Tape Reduction, who oversees iGaming. “The introduction of a regulated iGaming market marks an exciting milestone for our province. I am confident that by collaborating, we can establish a market that is both competitive and socially responsible. The future of iGaming in Alberta is promising, and with your cooperation, we will ensure its success for all stakeholders.” In addition to the major operators previously noted, domestic and North American-centric brands like BetRivers, the ScoreBet, and NorthStar Gaming have declared declared their intention to apply for registration in Alberta. While many anticipated a market opening in the second quarter of 2026, Nally explained that the decision to delay until July was made in response to operator feedback indicating a need for additional time to meet the new market's compliance standards.

俄羅斯軍機墜毀克里米亞 29人死亡

(SeaPRwire) - 俄羅斯新聞通訊社週三凌晨引述俄羅斯國防部消息報導,在被兼併的克里米亞發生的俄羅斯軍機墜毀事故,造成6名機組人員與23名乘客死亡。 報導指出,這架An-26軍用運輸機當時正在克里米亞半島上空執行定點飛行任務,克里米亞半島是俄羅斯於2014年從烏克蘭非法兼併的領土。俄羅斯軍方在週二晚間6點左右與這架飛機失去聯繫。 現場消息人士告訴俄羅斯國營新聞通訊社Tass與RIA Novosti,這款蘇聯設計的軍用運輸渦輪螺旋槳飛機,墜毀於一處懸崖。 俄羅斯調查委員會表示,機上總共共有7名機組人員與23名乘客。從官方聲明中無法立即確認是否有1名機組人員生還。 俄羅斯調查委員會指出,已經針對這起事件依飛行規範相關規定展開刑事調查,目前正在巴赫奇薩賴區的山區林地展開搜索行動。 The Interfax新聞通訊社引述俄羅斯國防部說法指出,這起墜機事故可能是疑似技術故障所導致,且這架飛機並未受到「破壞性干擾」。 自克里姆林宮派兵進入烏克蘭以來,涉及俄羅斯軍機的事故頻頻發生。 去年12月,一架An-22軍用運輸機在俄羅斯伊萬諾沃地區墜毀,造成7名機組人員死亡。同年10月,一架MiG-31戰鬥機在利佩茨克地區墜毀;而2025年4月,一架Tu-22M3轟炸機在西伯利亞伊爾庫茨克地區墜毀。 2022年10月,一架Su-34轟炸機墜毀在亞速海沿岸俄羅斯城市葉伊斯克的一處住宅區,引發大規模火災,造成15人死亡。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

HMRC terminates 10% Bingo Duty tax for land-based venues iGame

HMRC terminates 10% Bingo Duty tax for land-based venues

(AsiaGameHub) - HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) will no longer impose a 10% tax on gross profits earned by land-based bingo venues across the UK. This policy change was rolled out as part of the Budget announced by Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves back in November 2025, and the new rules officially take effect as of today (1 April 2026). HMRC has clarified that bingo operators will no longer be required to file tax returns for profits generated from land-based bingo play, and the department will update its official guidance in due course to reflect these new adjustments. A statement from the agency reads: “Bingo Duty operators currently registered with HMRC will retain the ability to submit any outstanding returns online until April 2030, and notify HMRC of any over-declarations or under-declarations from previous accounting periods.” The elimination of Bingo Duty will soften the financial blow for land-based bingo hall operators, coming into force the same day that HMRC enforces an increase to remote gaming duties (RGD) from 21% to 40% – a change that will impact all wagering on online bingo. HMRC reiterated: “Bingo Duty does not apply to non-profit making bingo, private domestic bingo, or machines that are already subject to Machine Games Duty.” After the Budget announcement in November, Rank Group Plc, the operator of Mecca Bingo, publicly welcomed the decision to remove the 10% tax from land-based bingo halls. The company stated that the change will help support local jobs and investment in the land-based sector, having previously warned that a failure to reform bingo taxation could lead to widespread venue closures. However, the wider response across the industry has been more cautious. Buzz Bingo CEO Dominic Mansour described the abolition of the tax as a “full house win” for local clubs, but warned that its positive impact is being diluted by the near-doubling of RGD. Ahead of the Budget, Mansour stressed that fairer tax treatment was essential to protecting around 2,500 jobs and sustaining the company’s network of 79 venues across the UK. Tensions remain around broader regulatory developments, with the government indicating that the sector needs to provide further assurances on player protection, particularly in higher-stake gaming environments. Frustration also persists over whether the Labour government will implement planned changes to the current 80/20 rule, which sets a limited ratio for category B and C/D gaming machines in high street bingo venues and Adult Gaming Centres (ADCs) This April, DCMS announced that it had intervened to freeze planned changes that would shift the machine ratio to 50/50. Citing pressure from local councils over high street gaming operations, DCMS noted that changes to gaming machine ratios would not be implemented during the current legislative cycle. Instead, DCMS will prioritise White Paper commitments such as the statutory levy and binding online stake limits for UK gambling licences. Land-based gambling trade bodies, including BACTA, as well as major operators, have expressed frustration over the slow pace of reform, arguing that delays are preventing bingo halls from generating the revenue needed to modernise and recover from pandemic disruption and rising operating costs. The Treasury had previously backed targeted reforms for gambling venues as part of a package of measures to ease rising cost pressures on high street businesses. While the abolition of Bingo Duty represents a long-awaited concession for the sector, its overall impact is softened by the broader tightening of gambling taxation, leaving operators to navigate a far more challenging operating environment under the UK’s new 40% RGD era.

独家: नेतन्या胡妻子警告: antisemit主义猖獗,犹太-基督教联盟的重要性不言而喻

(SeaPRwire) - 獨家報導:以色列總理班傑明·內塔尼亞胡的妻子莎拉·內塔尼亞胡警告,反猶太主義的危險日益加劇,且有人企圖破壞基督教與猶太社群之間的關係。她的言論是在應第一夫人梅拉尼婭·特朗普邀請,赴美參加為期四天的「Be Best」第一夫人峰會後發表的。她在接受《Digital》獨家訪問時表示,儘管歷史記錄顯示反猶太主義會導向何種後果,但極左和極右的極端勢力仍持續宣揚反猶太主義,並企圖破壞以色列,分裂基督教社群內部的支持。「以色列從未有過像我丈夫這樣的總理,他每次訪美都會特意與基督教社群領袖會面,擁抱他們、傾聽他們,並以真正的伙伴和朋友身份維持親密且真誠的關係,」她告訴《Digital》。「他們堅定對抗以色列敵人的勇氣值得讚賞。他們是我們的[非官方]大使,我希望我們的伙伴關係能持續成長並加強,」她補充道。內塔尼亞胡表示,今年7月,以色列接待了總統的親密顧問兼白宮信仰辦公室主任保拉·懷特-凱恩,她和總理都出席了一場特別活動,該活動向全球數百萬基督教觀眾直播。在哈瑪斯於2023年10月7日在以色列殺害1200人後,反猶太主義在全球範圍內激增,包括在美國。莎拉·內塔尼亞胡由父母施繆爾和哈瓦·本-阿爾齊在以色列撫養長大。她的父親是聖經學者和教育家,向她灌輸了對猶太人與以色列土地歷史聯繫的重視。「大屠殺是歷史上不能也不會重演的時刻,」內塔尼亞胡告訴《Digital》,背景是美以正在對伊朗伊斯蘭共和國採取軍事行動,伊朗領導人一再威脅要對猶太國家實施種族滅絕。10月7日之後的攻擊事件包括2025年5月埃利亞斯·羅德里格斯在華盛頓殺害兩名以色列大使館工作人員(他被捕時據稱喊出「解放巴勒斯坦!」),以及6月穆罕默德·薩布里·索利曼在支持以色列的集會上發動攻擊,造成12人受傷,其後一名受害者死亡。在2月28日「史詩之怒行動」(Operation Epic Fury)開始後,事件也有所增加,內塔尼亞胡稱此行動是針對伊朗及其恐怖代理人的預防性措施。調查人員表示,被指控企圖在3月12日攻擊密歇根州一間猶太教堂的艾曼·穆罕默德·加扎利,是被真主黨激進化的。與此同時,上月一項聯邦調查發現,一些教職員工在反對以色列加薩戰爭的抗議活動中「正當化並加劇反猶太主義」。營地在校園蔓延,經常要求從與以色列有關的機構和猶太組織撤資。3月20日,特朗普政府起訴哈佛大學,指控其未能保護猶太和以色列學生,並縱容反猶太主義。「我們正處於一場生存之戰——一場善與惡的戰爭——對抗試圖摧毀以色列和世界的力量,」她說。「伊朗政權領導人公開焚燒以色列和美國的國旗。他們稱以色列為『小撒旦』,美國為『大撒旦』。」她繼續說:「以色列從未有過比唐納德·特朗普更好的朋友。他與[以色列]總理一起,正在重塑中東,為整個自由世界創造新未來的機會,」她補充道。在美國訪問期間,內塔尼亞胡會見了多位第一夫人,在美國國務院發表講話,與南卡羅來納州共和黨參議員林賽·格雷厄姆舉行會談,與科技和AI公司互動,並主持了一場與在以色列國防軍服役的兒童父母的大型會議。內塔尼亞胡參加了由梅拉尼婭·特朗普主辦的「Be Best」第一夫人峰會,這是一場第一夫人的全球科技會議,重點是擴大兒童和青少年獲取遠程學習技術的機會。內塔尼亞胡是一名兒童心理學家,每周在耶路撒冷市政府工作三次,她已深入參與這個議題。這次訪問也帶來了經濟影響,促成了與Microsoft和Meta在全球層面的擴大對話。內塔尼亞胡告訴《Digital》,多家公司表示有興趣推進價值數千萬美元的投資,以為兒童和青少年實施先進的AI遠程學習模型——尤其是在以色列,那裡的教育連續性因安全局勢而中斷。「以色列在道德、價值觀和科技方面,都是西方先進國家的領導者。以色列的創新每天都在網絡安全、金融科技和農業等領域影響著全球人民。我們貢獻知識,建立戰略伙伴關係,使以色列與其盟友更緊密,」她說。「全球對以色列有著強烈的認可,當各國認識到我們的貢獻時,他們會選擇伙伴關係而非極端主義和仇恨,」內塔尼亞胡總結道。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

Ygam warns of growing social media influence on student gambling iGame

Ygam warns of growing social media influence on student gambling

(AsiaGameHub) - A recent study by Ygam indicates that social media is playing an increasingly significant role in how students engage with gambling. As unlicensed operators continue to infiltrate social media platforms, 34% of students who participate in gambling identified these platforms as a primary influence on their betting habits. Emily Tofield, Chief Executive Officer of Ygam, stated: “It is evident that the digital environment students inhabit is having a growing impact on gambling behaviors. We must proactively address these emerging risks to ensure students have the education and support necessary to protect themselves.” This follows warnings from the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) regarding the promotion of unlicensed operators on social media, with the regulator highlighting the “very limited progress” made by these platforms. Earlier this year, Tim Miller, the UKGC’s Executive Director of Research and Policy, criticized Meta, noting: “I would be very surprised if Meta, as one of the world’s largest tech companies, is unable to proactively use its own keyword tools to block illegal gambling advertisements. It creates the impression that they are content to ignore the issue and continue profiting from criminals and scammers until they are called out.” During the Illegal Gambling Prevention Summit last week, Rob Mabbett of Better Change cautioned that the UKGC is fighting a solitary battle against the black market and its advertising tactics. He stressed that young people face heightened risks due to content on social media, including interactions with influencers, celebrities, YouTubers, and the broader digital landscape. Mabbett argued for more robust regulation of big tech and social platforms, warning that the regulated sector is currently subject to policy decisions that are neither properly tested nor scrutinized. The influence of social media is clearly growing; in Ygam’s initial student gambling survey from 2022, fewer than one in four students cited it as a factor. Tofield has also urged universities and student unions to treat gambling harm with the same level of urgency as other risky behaviors, such as substance abuse. This aligns with recommendations from the coroner who investigated the 2020 death of Lee Adams, a gambling addict who died from a beta-blocker overdose following a prolonged gambling session. Julian Morris, Senior Coroner for Inner South London, suggested that medical professionals should screen for gambling issues just as they do for smoking or alcohol consumption. Ygam’s data further revealed that some students are spending more on gambling than on food. The charity noted an average gambling expenditure of £50.33. Comparing this to the National Student Money Survey, which reports an average weekly grocery spend of £33.70, Ygam suggests that some students are prioritizing gambling over essential nutrition. The study found that 65% of students have gambled in the past year, a decline from the 78% recorded in the inaugural 2022 Annual Student Gambling Survey. Additionally, the percentage of students reporting gambling-related harm dropped from 24% in 2023 to 18% in 2026. Further survey data indicates that slightly over half of student gamblers are primarily motivated by the desire to earn money. Male students are more likely to gamble than their female counterparts, with the average spend among male gamblers being more than double that of females. These concerns regarding increased spending align with recent figures from GamCare, which reported that the number of individuals seeking financial assistance through its Money Guidance Services doubled in 2025. Meanwhile, reported debt rose from £2.8m in 2024 to £7.2m last year, representing an average debt of £21,269 per person. Rising awareness On a more positive note, Ygam reported that 58% of students who gamble are aware of available support services, and 69% feel confident in their ability to access them. Additional data from GamStop shows that 60,000 individuals under the age of 25 are registered with the service, marking a 75% increase over the past five years. Fiona Palmer, CEO of The Gamstop Group, added: “The Annual Student Gambling Survey highlights a concerning lack of awareness regarding gambling risks and the impact on students struggling to manage their habits, though it is heartening to see greater recognition of the support that is available.” This data release coincides with the UK’s transition to a new NHS-led funding model for gambling harm treatment, supported by the Statutory Levy. However, there is growing anxiety regarding the effectiveness of this new system as charities await confirmation of government funding. The findings from Ygam and GamStop underscore the necessity of maintaining robust gambling harm treatment services to ensure that individuals of all ages can access the support they require.

The Star concludes the offload of Queen’s Wharf interests iGame

The Star concludes the offload of Queen’s Wharf interests

(AsiaGameHub) - The Star Entertainment Group has successfully concluded an agreement with its joint venture partners concerning the Queen’s Wharf Brisbane and Gold Coast resorts. Nevertheless, the Australian casino operator might receive reduced compensation for managing the Queen’s Wharf Brisbane integrated resort after changes were made to the establishment's fixed monthly operator fee. Chow Tai Fook Enterprises Limited (CTFE) and Far East Consortium International Limited (FEC) have signed binding long-term agreements with The Star, which is currently operating under new management after the completion of a A$300m strategic investment by Bally’s Corporation and Investment Holdings late last year. The first phase of the transaction permits The Star to divest its 50% equity stake in the Destination Brisbane Consortium (DBC), which encompasses the Queen’s Wharf resort. The second phase pertains to the Destination Gold Coast Consortium (DGCC) and additional Brisbane properties that are either fully or partially owned by the operator. The Star has acquired full ownership of The Star Gold Coast assets, whereas CTFE and FEC are set to assume control of the Treasury Hotel and the Charlotte Street Car Park, both situated near the Queen’s Wharf resort. Monthly fee set at $1.5m? As stipulated by the transaction documents, the operator has finalized the sale of its 50% equity interest in DBC. Consequently, the fixed monthly operator fee stipulated in the DBC casino management agreement (CMA) has been revised and finalized. Effective immediately, the DBC casino operator fee due to The Star will consist of a fixed annual sum of AUS $18m, paid monthly (A$1.5m per month), as well as a performance-based incentive fee made up of two components, both linked to EBITDAM. The DBC also retains a performance termination right, enabling it to end the CMA under specific performance-related conditions, subject to a minimum of 90 days’ written notice. Apart from these modifications, the essential terms of the transaction remain unchanged in all material aspects. The completion of the first stage, involving the divestment of the Queen’s Wharf resort, fulfills the requirements of the refinancing arrangement The Star secured with WhiteHawk Capital Partners last month. Consequently, the company’s guarantee associated with the Queen’s Wharf debt facilities has been fully released. Regarding the second phase, which involves the DGCC and other Brisbane properties held by The Star, the operator noted that efforts to finalize it are ongoing. The conditions precedent are anticipated to be met during the second half of 2026, and no later than 31 March 2027. The Star aims to ‘strengthen’ in 2026 The Star seems to be honoring its commitments to investors after recently expressing optimism for the upcoming year during its H1 FY26 results announcement in March, following a turbulent end to 2025. The Star recorded A$585m in normalised net revenue for the first half of FY26 and a net loss exceeding A$75m. The new management team has implemented changes to operational and marketing strategies, introduced customer-focused initiatives, and enacted further cost reductions. Bruce Mathieson Jnr, Group Chief Executive Officer of The Star, remarked: “We are streamlining our corporate office, and essential support functions will be handled at the property level in Sydney, Gold Coast, and Brisbane. These changes are designed to bolster our financial position and support long-term success. “We continue to drive appropriate cost-out initiatives and are exploring and implementing measures to draw customers to our venues. We are dedicated to following a transparent, practical, and sustainable path that ensures our remediation plan meets the expected standards, while fostering consistency, embedment, and demonstrable maturity throughout the group. “Our properties hold immense potential, and we are committed to transforming The Star into leading entertainment destinations.” Casino licence suspension prolonged However, the New South Wales Independent Casino Commission (NICC) has recently extended the casino licence suspension for The Star Sydney. Following a pathway-to-suitability submission received by the NICC from The Star Sydney on 12 March, it was confirmed that the operator is not yet seeking a licence determination. The suspension affecting The Star Sydney has been in effect for more than three years, after the operator was deemed unfit to hold a casino licence. This determination followed reviews commissioned by the NICC and conducted by Adam Bell SC in October 2022 and August 2024, which uncovered numerous regulatory failures. Nicolas Weeks was appointed as the manager for The Star Sydney to enable gaming operations to persist at the venue. This latest extension ensures the casino licence suspension remains active, with Weeks’ tenure now extended until 30 September 2026, unless terminated earlier.

EveryMatrix: How the shift toward casino gaming is transforming regulated iGaming in Africa iGame

EveryMatrix: How the shift toward casino gaming is transforming regulated iGaming in Africa

(AsiaGameHub) - For an extended period, African markets have been characterized by sports betting and, to some extent, crash games. However, over the past 12 months, a new trend has emerged, with online casino gaming experiencing a surge across African markets. This trend is particularly evident in South Africa, where a rapidly expanding new market is developing, with online casino serving as a primary driver of growth. A review of Super Group’s most recent quarterly report indicates a 37% year-on-year increase in Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) for online casino. To delve deeper into this trend, iGaming Expert spoke with Matt Cowan, Commercial Director for EveryMatrix in Africa, to discuss the factors contributing to this shift and how operators can capitalize on evolving user behaviors. What is driving the change among South African players, who are transitioning from primarily sports bettors to increasingly engaging with casino games? The rapid expansion is fueled by both new players entering the market through casino offerings and existing sports bettors who are now also participating in casino games. The addressable market has effectively doubled; casino games tend to be more engaging and, unlike sports, do not have halves or off-seasons, making it unsurprising that casino is swiftly becoming dominant. Does this underscore the importance for operators to implement effective cross-selling strategies, particularly during significant sporting events like this summer's World Cup? Matt Cowan – EveryMatrix Africa. Image Source: EveryMatrix Absolutely. Casino games are available 'always on.' While this summer's Football World Cup represents one of the most effective acquisition opportunities an operator could wish for, casual players might only place bets during the tournament or while games are in progress before churning. Casino games enable operators to retain these players long after the tournament concludes. They also serve as a means to keep players engaged on the platform before, during, and after matches. Developing gamified challenges that span both verticals, encouraging players to explore casino options, is crucial. EngageSuite is currently the leading product on the market for operators to achieve this most effectively. Do you foresee this trend being replicated in other African markets where sports and crash games typically hold the most popularity? This is already occurring in key markets such as Kenya and Tanzania. Sports and crash games still dominate, but as the player base matures and begins to seek more sophisticated and dynamic gaming experiences, the natural progression will be to try slots. It is only a matter of time. What kinds of opportunities does this growing demand for slots present for both operators and game providers, such as SlotMatrix? The quicker operators can bring a diverse range of games to market, the better. The casino sector evolves rapidly, but EveryMatrix moves even faster. Managing numerous commercial agreements, vendor relationships, and integrations can be a significant challenge for operators. Our casino management platform and aggregation services not only resolve these issues but also substantially enhance operational efficiency through their functionality. They offer a single point of access to the most extensive selection of real-money casino content globally. When combined with our localized expertise and exceptional post-sales support, we are the definitive choice for casino aggregation. Are there specific types of content that particularly appeal to South African players? Simple slot mechanics continue to be the most popular. Although South Africa represents the most developed slots market on the continent, it is still relatively nascent in global terms, with players keen to understand their winning potential and the methods to achieve it. Volatility is also a key factor in players' decisions regarding which games they prefer, with a significant portion of South African players favoring high volatility and high maximum win game variations, such as Pragmatic’s Super Scatter games or No Limit City’s titles with a 50,000x maximum win, like Duck Hunters. How is EveryMatrix positioned to capitalize on this increased demand for casino games? With a team of experts possessing decades of experience in the gaming industry, EveryMatrix understands the strategies operators need to implement to maximize their profitability in the casino sector. In addition to our expertise, our product suite solidifies our standing as the leading casino aggregator in Africa. Through our casino management platform and comprehensive content library, we provide operators with access to the world's largest portfolio of games, including exclusive content unavailable elsewhere. Our EngageSuite product also ensures that operators effectively retain players in highly competitive markets. By utilizing bonus campaigns, mini-tournaments, gamification, and CRM tools, we offer solutions to some of the most common challenges faced by operators. This article is provided by a third-party.

HONG KONG, Apr 1, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - CTF Life announced today a new collaboration with The Hong Kong Mortgage Corporation Limited (“HKMC”), which aimed at offering customers an additional option for managing their wealth after retirement. By introducing referrals for the “Policy Reverse Mortgage Programme” (“PRMP”) and the “Reverse Mortgage Programme” (“RMP”)1, the partnership combines CTF Life’s retirement product with the HKMC’s reverse mortgage solutions to deliver more comprehensive retirement planning support that meets customers’ financial needs at every stage of life.As Hong Kong’s population ages rapidly, the need for stronger retirement protection is growing. According to the latest projection2 from the Census and Statistics Department, the proportion of people aged 65 or above in Hong Kong is expected to rise significantly from 20.6% in 2021 to 36% in 2046, a clear sign of the city’s ageing trend. As citizens live longer and spend more years in retirement, their living expenses are set to rise, driving demand for stable, sustainable income and thoughtful financial planning. In support of the Government’s initiatives to encourage early retirement planning and promote the silver economy, CTF Life has partnered with the HKMC to promote the PRMP and the RMP. These two programmes aim to provide customers with a stable income to enhance the quality of retirement life, supporting them with diverse and reliable retirement solutions.Man Kit Ip, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of CTF Life, said, “Hong Kong’s rapidly ageing population is driving demand for more comprehensive retirement planning solutions. We are pleased to partner with the HKMC to introduce the PRMP and the RMP through referrals, which complement CTF Life’s product suite to provide customers with stable income streams and an additional wealth management option in retirement, helping customers build well-rounded retirement solutions and reinforce our commitment to creating value beyond insurance.”Colin Pou, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of The Hong Kong Mortgage Corporation Limited, said, “The PRMP and the RMP help retirees convert their life insurance policies or their residential properties into steady monthly payouts, generating lifelong streams of income, thereby enhancing the quality of their retirement lives. We are pleased to collaborate with CTF Life to introduce the PRMP and the RMP to more clients, and to jointly support the Government’s initiative to address the ageing society and promote silver economy.”CTF Life’s @MyLove Insurance Plan II3 is an eligible life insurance product under the PRMP, allowing customers to use their insurance policies as collateral to apply for monthly or lump-sum payouts to meet their retirement financial needs. The plan provides life protection up to 100 years of age, together with extra accidental death benefit during the first 10 policy years, flexible premium payment options, premium prepayment options, a guaranteed cash value, plus annual dividend and terminal dividend to help customers further grow their wealth. At the same time, through the RMP, customers can convert property value into a stable cash flow. When combined with the ongoing protection provided by life insurance products, this enables a more flexible approach to asset utilisation and delivers dual, stable support for retirement wealth planning.Notes:1.The Policy Reverse Mortgage Programme and the Reverse Mortgage Programme are operated by HKMC Insurance Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Hong Kong Mortgage Corporation Limited.

MHI President Eisaku Ito Offers Words of Encouragement to New Employees at the Company’s 2026 Welcoming Ceremony

President Eisaku Ito welcomes new employees at the ceremonyTOKYO, Apr 1, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) held an entrance ceremony for the fiscal year 2026 at the Grand Prince Hotel New Takanawa in Minato-ku, Tokyo. This year, as a new initiative, some of the new employees' families also participated in the ceremony online. President & CEO Eisaku Ito addressed over 1,100 new employees, offering words of encouragement and expressing his expectations that "each individual's diverse values and experiences will bring innovation to our Group."Summary of President Ito's MessageMaking the stable supply of energy and electricity and the establishment of strategic supply chains increasingly important, alongside heightened awareness of security. Labor shortages in developed countries and the aging of urban infrastructure also pose major challenges. Furthermore, the remarkable advances in AI technology are transforming industries. Against this backdrop, President & CEO Ito emphasized that "in times like these, it is essential to cherish the fundamentals of our company." He explained the origins of our Group and the three corporate principles that form our management philosophy, including "putting customers first and contributing to social progress through our business." He then spoke about the Group's vision and offered encouragement to the new employees. The key points are as follows:MHI Group VisionOur Group's mission is to "combine the technologies accumulated with cutting-edge knowledge, tackle evolving social challenges, and realize a prosperous life for people." We provide diverse products and services to a wide range of customers, supported by a common foundation of technologies, experts, and IT systems. Our Group owns over 700 technologies. Companies that possess both such diversity and a common foundation are rare worldwide. Therefore, our Group still has significant room for growth.To maximize our growth potential, we are promoting "Innovative Total Optimization (ITO)" throughout the company. ITO is based on two core concepts. The first is "Group-Wide Optimization," which means optimizing the value chain from sales to manufacturing and enabling lean business operations through the common foundation mentioned earlier. Additionally, by strengthening collaboration between businesses, sharing lessons learned from failures and early signs of changes in the business environment, we aim to enhance productivity and profitability. The second concept is "Scope Expansion," which anticipates latent needs and creates new value by "smartly connecting" different fields. By leveraging partnering and IT, we swiftly approach new customers and regions. Combining these approaches, we will provide new value to vastly more customers.This fiscal year marks the final year of the "2024 Business Plan," launched in fiscal 2024. Through achieving this plan and advancing ITO, we aim to realize a "virtuous cycle of high profitability and growth investment."Encouragement to New EmployeesOur Group fosters a culture where young employees can take on significant challenges early in their careers. When I was a student, I researched gas turbines and aspired to become an engineer in this field. I joined Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, the only company in Japan independently developing gas turbines. I was entrusted with a project to develop a turbine for a new concept jet engine. I was involved in all manufacturing processes from planning to development, design, prototyping, and evaluation, which later became the foundation of our business. Since then, as an engineer, I have participated in various projects both domestically and internationally, and with each experience, including failures, I saw personal growth.The greatest appeal of our Group is its deep connection with society. There are countless opportunities to realize the desire to "contribute to society through manufacturing." Our business fields extend from the depths of the ocean to the far reaches of space.People are the core of our Group. To enhance individual capabilities, we provide various opportunities for challenges and growth. However, these opportunities are not only given but must also be actively pursued. We want you to identify social issues you are passionate about in your own life, align them with organizational goals, and continue to challenge yourself and grow.In your daily work, please especially keep in mind to "work cheerfully and enjoyably," "focus on the small tasks in front of you," and "be yourself." Mental and physical health are the foundation of life. When things are tough, there is actually an opportunity to rapidly develop your abilities. Also, small tasks support our Group's large businesses. The day will come when you will be entrusted with major work, so prepare thoroughly with humility and courage, and expand the areas where you can contribute. Be aware of how your work benefits society, set your own goals, and put them into practice.Our Group has many jobs that contribute to social progress, global-scale work, and work that only we can do. With the ambition and responsibility to proactively create and support society, let us maximize our Group's potential and continue to take on challenges on the global stage.About MHI GroupMitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group is one of the world’s leading industrial groups, spanning energy, smart infrastructure, industrial machinery, aerospace and defense.
